I’m a complete mascara addict. I don’t buy many beauty products, but if there’s one item I’m more than willing to splurge on it’s mascara because it makes such a big difference. Just a few swipes of a good mascara and my eyes go from sleepy to bright and awake just like that.

I wasn’t on the hunt for a new favorite mascara; I actually already have two that I love and didn’t feel the need to replace. But when I purchased my go-to eye makeup remover it came with a sample of Lancome’s Monsieur Big mascara, so I decided to give it a try. Best. Freebie. Ever!

I started using my Monsieur Big mascara last week and haven’t stopped since. Yes, I’ve completely turned my back on my old favorites because this mascara is so good. The wand has lots of stiff bristles that grip my lashes and evenly apply the black mascara from root to tip. I use about three swipes on each eye and my lashes look longer, fuller and basically just amazing.

What I really love most about this mascara, though, is that it stays put! Lots of mascaras I’ve used over the years have a tendency to deposit black residue underneath your eye throughout the day, but not Monsieur Big. It keeps my lashes looking great all day long and never flakes or rubs off underneath my eye.

If you’re a makeup minimalist like me, then you should definitely invest in a few makeup bag items that are the best of the best. This mascara is $25 and worth every dollar in my opinion!
